After three hundred years of accumulation, Song Zhong could be said to have a strong army. The Earth Wutu Divine Palace produced more than 120 Earth Wutu Half Immortal Lightning Flying Ships. The number of Yi Wood Divine Lightning also increased along with the number of flower demons, which gradually exceeded the number of Earth Wutu Divine Lightning Boats. In the end, the number of Yi Wood Divine Boats increased to 150.
Most of these flying boats were 1200 feet long, and only ten of them were 1500 feet long. The reason why this was the case was not because SongZhong did not have enough divine lightning, but because he did not have enough divine tools to act as the core. Even the divine tools required for these 10 ships were obtained through SongZhong's efforts. For this, he had even offered up his Earth Splitting Godly Shuttle.
Without a divine equipment as the core, the bigger the flying boat, the more high grade spirit stones it would consume. Although Song Zhong was rich, he could not supply hundreds of large flying boats.
Therefore, Song Zhong installed pseudo immortal equipment as the core for the second tier flying boats. Although they were not as strong as the immortal equipment core, they were enough to support the operation of 1200 feet long flying boats.
With so many Divine Lightning Flying Ships, SongZhong's confidence also increased greatly. However, he still did not reveal these weapons in front of others. Most of the flying boats were hidden, and only ten or so were left for others to see.
Even with those ten flying boats, together with the powerful Lightning Divine Boat and Ice Fiend Divine Boat, they had become an exceptionally strong force. It was enough to fight against any super sect.
If Song Zhong's hidden army came out together, they would be able to wipe out half of the cultivation world. However, Song Zhong was not satisfied with such a strong military force. He continued to ask the flower demons to speed up the production of flying boats, increasing the number of flying boats per year to increase the stock.
It did not matter even if the flying boats did not have immortal equipment cores. Song Zhong intended to use them as backup resources. Once he had immortal equipment, he could upgrade them into top grade flying boats that could fight.
Also, they would be extremely useful during a big battle. In case the flying ships at the frontline were damaged and needed major repairs, they could replace the cores so that they could quickly enter the battle.
Of course, in these three hundred years, Song Zhong did not completely copy Taoist Thunder's design. He had also made necessary changes to the Divine Thunder Flying Boat according to the actual situation.
Among them, there were two main changes. One was a way to replenish the core spiritual energy, and the other was the Divine Thunder Tower.
It turned out that when Song Zhong was commanding 10 Divine Thunder Airboats at the same time to carry out combat exercises, he suddenly discovered an extremely serious problem. A single mistake would turn his airboat fleet into garbage. It was because of this that he had no choice but to upgrade the Divine Boat.
And this problem was the power of the Divine Thunder Flying Boat. One had to know that all the top grade flying boats in the Cultivation World used genuine immortal equipment as their cores. This way, when they were fighting, they could use the special ability of the immortal equipment to continuously absorb the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth to quickly replenish their consumption.
Because the immortal equipment absorbed spiritual energy at an extremely fast speed, it was even faster than the normal consumption of the top grade flying boats. Therefore, this top grade flying boat became a war fortress that would never fall. It could even fight against Itinerant Immortals.
However, in the Cultivation World, top grade flying boats were extremely rare. Every super sect only had one or two of them. This way, even if there was a sect war, there would not be many top grade flying boats gathered together.
Even in the Spiritual World, where spiritual energy was scarce, the huge Spiritual World was filled with enough spiritual energy to supply the consumption of a few top grade flying boats. Therefore, under normal circumstances, this was not a problem at all.
However, Song Zhong did not only have three to five top grade flying boats in his hands! Instead, there were more than ten of them. In addition, there were close to 300 secondary Divine Boats that could absorb spiritual energy of heaven and earth to fight. If such a large fleet desperately absorbed spiritual energy of heaven and earth during a war, it would be a very terrifying demand. Even the low-level Spiritual World could not guarantee the supply. Even the Spiritual World, which was rich in spiritual energy, could not support such a large consumption for a long time.
If the spiritual Qi in the Spiritual World were to disappear in large amounts, not only would SongZhong's fleet become useless, it would also bring about a calamity to the entire Spiritual World. It might even kill all the living beings in the Spiritual World. It would completely turn it into a barren land.
Song Zhong was not a homicidal maniac. Of course, he would not allow such a thing to happen. Moreover, he might even fight in special realms, such as the Ninth Hell and the Endless Abyss. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth there was very thin, but evil and demonic energy were abnormally abundant. If he still wanted to rely on absorbing spiritual energy of heaven and earth to fight, he would definitely suffer a great loss.
Therefore, when this problem appeared, it immediately attracted Song Zhong's attention. After nearly a hundred years of research, Song Zhong finally managed to barely solve this problem through two improvements.
One of Song Zhong's solutions was to change the way the Divine Thunder Flying Boats replenished spiritual energy. In addition to exposing their ability to absorb spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they could also absorb the stored divine thunder as a power source.
After all, these flying boats were all refined with divine thunder, so they did not reject the divine thunder of the same origin. With a little modification, they could transform the thunder balls of the same attribute into their own spiritual energy. It was the same as using spirit stones to replenish spiritual energy, but the spirit stones with thin spiritual energy were replaced with thunder balls with huge spiritual energy.
In this way, Song Zhong only needed to store enough divine thunder in the Divine Thunder Flying Boats in advance. When he could not absorb spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he could use the thunder balls to replenish spiritual energy, so that the Divine Thunder Flying Boats could continue to fight.
Anyway, for Song Zhong, there were so many thunder balls condensed by his subordinates that he did not lack this thing at all. In addition, there was enough storage space in the Divine Thunder Flying Boats. It was not a problem to store a mountain, let alone a mere thunder ball!
Therefore, Song Zhong, who was rich and overbearing, made every Divine Thunder Flying Boat store enough thunder balls for the flying boat to fight continuously for a month. With these thunderballs, Song Zhong could make his Divine Thunder Flying Boat Fleet display great fighting strength even in a space without Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
In addition to this improvement, Song Zhong also specially improved the Divine Thunder Launcher. In the past, flying boats were equipped with Divine Thunder Towers as their main weapons. The Divine Thunder Tower could absorb enough spiritual energy from the flying boat, condense it into a lightning ball, and then automatically aim and shoot it out. Speaking of convenience, it was truly convenient. There was no need for anyone to look at it, and it could automatically attack.
However, the consumption of the Divine Thunder Tower was too terrifying. This consumption was mainly reflected in two aspects. One was that the Divine Thunder Tower itself was expensive, accounting for almost one-third of the total cost of the flying boat, or even more. The other was that the Divine Thunder Tower consumed too much spiritual energy.
Because the divine thunder fired by the Divine Thunder Tower was made on the spot, it was inevitable that a lot of spiritual energy would be wasted in the process of absorbing spiritual energy and condensing thunder balls. The amount of spiritual energy wasted was related to the Divine Thunder Tower itself. High-level Divine Thunder Towers wasted less spiritual energy and condensed faster, while low-level ones were the opposite.
However, even the most advanced Divine Thunder Tower would waste half of its spiritual energy in the process of condensing the divine thunder, and its cost was almost comparable to that of a high-level spirit treasure.
Regarding this, Song Zhong expressed that he was under a lot of pressure. He always wanted to improve it, but he didn't know where to start. Until one day, he accidentally found a treasure that he obtained when he was young. Only then did he have an inspiration and found a solution.
The treasure that Song Zhong found was the Sky Shattering Dragon Cannon. When he was still a Xiantian cultivator, he was chased by four Foundation Establishment cultivators. One of them used this Sky Shattering Dragon Cannon to attack Song Zhong with the Earth Flame Divine Thunder. If it wasn't for the copper bell, a hundred Song Zhong would have died. That was the closest Song Zhong had come to death. Even now, when he thought about it, he was still a little scared.
After this Sky Shattering Dragon Cannon was seized by Song Zhong, he kept it as a spoil of war. It wasn't until that day, on a whim, that he found it again when he rummaged through his old things.
When he saw this Sky Shattering Dragon Cannon, Song Zhong's eyes lit up. The Sky Shattering Dragon Cannon itself was already considered a low-level item to Song Zhong. However, it gave Song Zhong a whole new revelation.
This was because the principle of this Sky Shattering Dragon Cannon was completely different from the Divine Thunder released in the Cultivation World. The Divine Thunder Tower of the Cultivation World condensed Divine Thunder and then threw it out. However, the Sky Shattering Dragon Cannon condensed Divine Thunder in advance and then shot it out when it was needed.
Although this was a small difference, when it was really used, the difference was like heaven and earth. The Divine Thunder Tower that condensed Divine Thunder consumed the Spirit Qi of the Divine Boat itself. The Spirit Qi of the Divine Boat itself was needed for flight and defense. There wasn't much Spirit Qi to begin with. Now that it was consumed by the Divine Thunder Tower, it was even more stretched.
The top-notch Flying Ship had almost limitless Spirit Qi, so it didn't matter. However, after Song Zhong formed the Divine Boat fleet, he could no longer have limitless Spirit Qi. Thus, the consumption of Spirit Qi was huge.
However, if the Divine Thunder Tower was replaced by the Sky Shattering Dragon Cannon, it would be completely different. The Sky Shattering Dragon Head Cannon only needed to consume a little bit of spiritual energy to aim and fire. The Divine Thunder that it required could be accumulated during normal times. This would save a large amount of Spirit Qi on the Divine Thunder Flying Ship, allowing it to fight for a longer time!
Song Zhong quickly understood all these. Then, he started to collect the refining methods of treasures like the Sky Shattering Dragon Cannon.
With SongZhong's wealth and influence, it was not a problem for him to collect all these items. Then, with the intelligence of ShuiJing and the rest, after spending a few decades, a brand new treasure, the Divine Lightning Dragon Cannons, was born.
The Divine Thunder Dragon Cannon could be made according to the requirements. Its length ranged from ten to thirty feet. Exquisite dragon patterns were carved on it, making it look exceptionally gorgeous.
Up until now, Song Zhong had only made two types of Divine Thunder Dragon Cannon made of Earth Element Half Immortal Thunder and Yi Wood Divine Thunder. He installed them on the two types of Divine Thunder Flying Ships under his command.
After the Divine Thunder Dragon Cannon was installed, Song Zhong's Divine Thunder Flying Ship's battle prowess immediately increased by more than two times. It had too many advantages. It was countless times better than the Divine Thunder Tower.
Other than saving Spirit Qi, the Divine Thunder Dragon Cannon was also cheap. This was because it did not need to condense Divine Thunder. The materials and formations needed to condense Divine Thunder were the most expensive. In total, one Divine Thunder Tower could make more than ten Divine Thunder Dragon Cannons of the same level. It was also because of this that Song Zhong could mobilize more wealth to collect Pseudo Immortal Equipment. Otherwise, he would not have been able to build such a huge fleet.
In addition, in terms of battle prowess, the two items could not be mentioned in the same breath. The Divine Thunder Tower could only fire one type of Divine Thunder. However, the Divine Thunder Dragon Cannon was different. If you installed Earth Element Divine Thunder, it would fire Earth Element Divine Thunder. If you installed Yi Wood Divine Thunder, it would fire Yi Wood Divine Thunder. Moreover, the Divine Thunder Dragon Cannon made of Yi Wood Divine Thunder would have its power increased when it fired Yi Wood Divine Thunder.
Although the power of other types of Divine Thunder would not be increased, it would be more lethal than the original type of Divine Thunder when it was used against enemies of the opposite type.
In addition, the firing speed was also a huge difference. The Divine Thunder Tower needed to condense Divine Thunder. This process was very time-consuming. Therefore, the interval between Divine Thunder was relatively long. It would take at least a few breaths of time.
However, the Divine Thunder Dragon Cannon was different. As long as there were enough shells, it could fire continuously. In a breath's time, it could fire two to three times. In other words, the Divine Thunder Dragon Cannon could fire seven to eight times in the time it took for the Divine Thunder Tower to fire one shot. This was equivalent to increasing the battle prowess by several times. Naturally, it was much more powerful than the Divine Thunder Tower.
Of course, although the Divine Thunder Dragon Cannon was better than the Divine Thunder Tower, it was not without its shortcomings. Its biggest shortcoming was that it needed to be controlled by someone. Every Divine Thunder Dragon Cannon needed a specialized gunner to load the shells, aim, and fire. However, the Divine Thunder Tower did not need to be so troublesome. It was fully automatic and saved a lot of manpower.
However, this shortcoming was nothing to SongZhong. He had plenty of people to back him up. Whether it was the Flower Demons or the puppets of the Wutu Divine Palace, under Song Zhong's enlightenment and creation, there were more than a million of them. Arranging some people to control the flying ship was not a problem at all.
Moreover, when these people went up, it was not as simple as firing the cannons. At the crucial moment, they could also participate in the battle. Their battle prowess could not be underestimated.
In short, after being modified by Song Zhong, the Divine Thunder Flying Ship's battle prowess had greatly increased. Once a battle broke out, it would definitely shock the world. However, Song Zhong did not want to reveal his strength for the time being. He did not want to become the target of public criticism. It was a pity that SongZhong's wish came to naught once again. Sometimes, even if you don't find trouble with others, others will find trouble with you!
